Two months ago, Alex Prior's family imploded and his life was turned sideways. And now, with one month of summer left to go, Grayson Prior has moved him and his son across the border to a colourful new town: Riviam Point, Vancouver. Alex isn't going to miss his old life much, but he's not sure if he's ready for this new one to begin either. At least not everyone in this town will be a stranger to him. His penpal of one year, Carsyn Mitchell, just might be the friendly stepping-stone he needs to restart and be truly happy for once. But Carsyn's circle of friends, including an ex-member that's wronged one of them, are relentlessly pushing Alex to make more socially-charged choices than he knows what to do with. When a former life ends - Alex will figure out the complicated way - this is how a new one begins.

Even In Pieces [bxb]
-KIND OF MATURE- "I wouldn't fuck you if you paid me." Well, at least my question is answered. He can get more punchable. We glare at each other, I am surprised neither of us have raised our fists yet. It wouldn't be the first time. "Who says you'll be the one fucking?" I snap back. _______________________________________ Zachary Alvarez has always hidden his broken parts behind his charm, sarcasm and arrogance. He is a complete asshole to most, especially one man in particular who he occasionally wants to lick all over or shoot in the head (He isn't picky). Nothing in Zach's life is constant. All he has ever cared for is himself since nobody else did. A lot of drinks, one-night stands, relationships that he never put effort into and people always leaving, that's all he has ever known. And Everett absolutely hates Zach's guts and hates how his smirk makes him feel triggered. Everett has always been this or that for people, always an image. Most times he doesn't even care, but sometimes it gets irritating. But somewhere both Everett and Zach starts to see each other. All that hate gets a bit too exhilarating. In so many ways... _________________________________________ If you guys are looking for an enemies to lovers with a lot of sexual tension... #1st in lovers #1st in homosexual #1st in bxb #1st in university #2nd in drama #4th in Lgbt #8th in mxm #19th in romanceComplete
